Speakers Corner

With all of the hoopla surrounding the films screened in the Obama White House, I got curious about what the past presidents watched. What follows is by no means complete, but an interesting bit of history.

The film is a truly great mixture of drama, resistance to the forces of politics, the adroit combination comedy, and love story, in a culinary battle for the utmost Michilin Star rating for an established French fine dining enterprise that is a mere 100 feet apart from a brand new (to the village) Indian restaraunt.

Kraft Foods and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics will end
a controversial children's nutrition awareness initiative for a
processed cheese product, a Kraft spokeswoman said Tuesday. The
food giant said it will remove the academy's "Kids Eat Right" logo
from Kraft Singles, individually wrapped slices of a processed
cheese product, after it was criticized as an endorsement of the
food giant's products. Both Kraft and the academy had denied that
the logo constituted an endorsement for the processed cheddar
cheese product. "Although we stand by our decision to work together
to shine a light on this issue, and not to serve as a product
endorsement, we believe misperceptions are overshadowing the
campaign," said Kraft spokeswoman Jody Moore.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A watchdog group is accusing four
potential 2016 presidential candidates of failing to follow federal
campaign finance rules while traveling and raising money as if they
were off and running.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence asked lawmakers
Tuesday to send him a clarification of the state's new
religious-freedom law later this week, while Arkansas legislators
passed a similar measure, despite criticism that it is a thinly
disguised attempt to permit discrimination against gays.

Iraq said security and allied forces backed by US-led coalition
aircraft "liberated" the city of Tikrit on Tuesday, its biggest
victory yet in the fight against Islamic State jihadists. The
operation to retake the hometown of former president Saddam Hussein
began on March 2 and had looked bogged down before Iraqi forces
made rapid advances in the past 48 hours. Prime Minister Haider
al-Abadi "announces the liberation of Tikrit and congratulates
Iraqi security forces and popular volunteers on the historic
milestone," his official Twitter account said. He was referring to
paramilitary groups which played a major role in the fighting to
retake Tikrit, a Sunni Arab city which IS had controlled since it
captured swathes of Iraq in June.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Tuesday shortened
the prison sentences of nearly two dozen drug convicts, including
eight serving life in prison, in an act the White House said
continues Obama's push to make the justice system fairer by
reducing harsh sentences that were handed down under outdated
guidelines.

Tottenham winger Andros Townsend came off the bench to steal
the limelight from club-mate Harry Kane with a late equaliser in a
1-1 draw against Italy in Turin on Tuesday. England manager Roy
Hodgson was forced to hand Spurs sensation Kane his full debut
alongside Wayne Rooney due to injuries to both Daniel Sturridge and
Danny Welbeck.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — With stubborn disputes unresolved,
negotiators extended nuclear talks between Iran and six world
powers past a self-imposed Tuesday midnight deadline in an effort
to hammer out the outline of an agreement.

Regional rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran traded accusations
Tuesday over the escalating conflict in Yemen, which the UN rights
chief warned was on the brink of "total collapse". In the heaviest
raids yet of the six-day Saudi-led air war against Shiite Huthi
rebels, explosions lit up the skies over Sanaa on Monday night and
rocked other parts of the country on Tuesday. Amnesty International
accused the Saudi-led coalition of "turning a blind eye to civilian
deaths" as it reported four children were among six burned to death
in strikes on Ibb, in central Yemen. The UN children's fund said
that at least 62 children had been killed and 30 injured during the
fighting in Yemen over the past week.
